Solution
The correct option is D OAA
The photosynthetic processes of C4 plants are divided between mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. C-4 begins with phosphoenolpyruvate, a 3-C chemical that is converted into oxaloacetic acid ( 4-C chemical) when carbon dioxide is combined with PEP. The OAA is converted to Malic Acid and then transported from the mesophyll cell into the bundle-sheath cell.
